COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONBeware, this is a BIG beer. Brimming with luscious roasted coffee and chocolate malt flavours which are balanced by a brisk bitterness and bold freshness from the hops.
If you’re feeling politically incorrect try it with your favourite cigar, or a dram of your best single malt whisky. Or, if your tooth is sweeter, why not jump in at the deep end with the most decadent dessert of all; half a bottle in a glass with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top (beer geeks like us know it as the Imperial Stout Float). Or simply enjoy it on its own as a decadent dessert or night cap - the perfect winter warmer!
If you don’t already know the history of Russian Imperial Stouts please check it out on the internet, it’s a good story. But remember, although based on that century-old classic style, this beer is a very modern interpretation, like all our beers!

Bottle from the LCBO. Pours a midnight black, about a finger or a half of khaki head that dies down but is rather clingy on the edges. Nose is really roasty, malty, caramel, toffee, sugary touch of hop character. Tastes sweet, roasted malt, cold coffee bitter, dark chocolate, hop is there.
